Lovely. But ... I disagree about the slug snake - the Wagler's Pit Viper is far more beautiful imo.

Ssssssssssnakes alive batman, you`ve really got these with sharpness and colourI take it the 1st and last are the only ones poisoness out of the bunch.
Keep taking and posting these great photos Kurt.
Ps, really like no2 as the position of the snake on the branch is great, almost like a broach.

Fantastic shots, funny how the eyes are different on some snakes to others.

The one's with round pupils look like they've been on acid tabs

Great set...

Absolutely beautiful Kurt. Sublime portraits. The second image could almost be the top of a staff (i.e like a wizards staff) or a coat of arms emblem.

Thanks, Graham. Right, only the first two (same snake) and the last are "venomous".
